					<h1>About the competition</h1>
					<p><a href="http://fathom.info/mirador">Mirador</a> is a tool for visually exploring complex datasets, enabling users to infer new hypotheses from the data and discover correlation patterns.</p> 

					<p>We are researchers, programmers and designers from <a href="http://fathom.info/">Fathom Information Design</a> and the <a href="http://sabetilab.org/">Sabeti Lab</a> at Harvard University and the Broad Institute.</p>

					<p>Our goal with the Mirador Open Data Competition was to promote public participation and transparency in research and governance. The competition took place between Sunday September 28th and Tuesday November 4th, and we chose <a href="http://fathom.info/latest/9779" target="_blank">three winning entries</a> with the help of experts in the four datasets included in the competition.</p>
					<!-- <p>We packaged four publicly available datasets in health, sports and global development, and you will have one month to explore these datasets with Mirador and submit your findings. A jury of specialists will evaluate the submissions and make a selection of three winning entries based on novelty, significance, and potential impact.</p> -->

					<h1>Datasets</h1>
					<p>We choose four datasets in health, sports and global development. In our view they are good representatives of Open Data initatives, because they are publicly available, well documented, and up-to-date. These datasets are complex and rich in interesting and unexpected correlations between thousands of variables!</p>

					<h1>Detailed Instructions</h1>
					<p>In order to succesfully participate in this competition, you first need to create an account, and then download the latest version of Mirador for Mac or Windows and any of the datasets listed above. You can sumbit any number of correlations from Mirador into your competition account, but by the end of the competition period you need to select up to 10 findings for evaluation by the jury. The following videos guide you through the process, from registering your competition account, downloading the datasets, using Mirador to explore the data, and finally submitting your findings:</p>

				<div class="section">
					<h1>Getting help</h1>					
					<p>Mirador is an ongoing open-source project; if you find bugs or run into issues, please report them <a href="https://github.com/mirador/mirador/issues" target="blank_">here</a>. We will try to fix them during the course of the competition. Once logged in, if you are having issues with your account please report them <a href="https://github.com/mirador/open-data-competition/issues" target="blank_">here</a>.</p>
					<p>For urgent questions about registering, using Mirador, or submitting results, you can also contact us <a href="
						mailto:andres@fathom.info?
						subject=Mirador Open Data Competition: help!&amp;
						body=Hi%20Andr%C3%A9s%20Colubri%2C%0A%0A%0A%0A
						">directly by email</a>.</p>
					</div> -->

					<div class="section">
						<h1>Visualizing the competition!</h1>
						<p>Lastly, there was an art project taking place in paralel with the competition. Every time a new correlation was submitted in Mirador, the sequence of steps that lead up to the finding was also stored. The (meta) visualization of these search processes in correlation space are described in <a href="http://fathom.info/latest/10320" target="blank_">this blogpost</a>.</p>
